When a soccer goalie dives to save a shot it is the goalkeepers best effort to get as much as possible behind the ball. Here are a few simple goalkeeper drills to work on the feet getting the hands to the ball, controlling the body and ball, using the the ground to cushion the dive, and more. The idea behind this session is to help improve the soccer goalies ability to safely and securely save the ball and protect themselves during and after the dive. This is achieved by effective interaction between coach and player, making sure that they follow the guidelines of controlling their body and the ball. The soccer goalkeepers participating in the diving drills are 11 - 13 years old.

Hello Keeperstop,
I was wondering, what is the best way to work on my diving technique , as I don't power step and don't dive forward. Is it with a stationary ball by myself , or continuous reps?
Thanks,
Victor Juarez :)
